FRAUDULENT VOUCHERS
which Mr.. whitaker is Charged with
Having Presented.

Having Presented.
The criminal court was again occupied
yesterday in hearing testimony in the case
of the United States VS.. GRANVILLE A. Whit
aker, charged with obtaining money on the
presentation OF duplicate vouchers to the
Navy Department.
Noah d. Rittenhour, clerk in the navy
pay and allotment division Of the f)urth
auditors office, was the first witness ex-
aminCd. He Identified voucher OF Jan. 8,
1883, for $42l.15, as having been In that
office. This voucher, together with nun.
Der Of others, was filed In the fourth audi
tors office by Pay Inspector Washington
in connection with accounts for the differ.
ent quarters of 1883. One voucher came In
connection with the account Of Thos. IL.
LOCKER, pay inspector.
Cross-examination ELECTED the fact that
the witness had no personal knowledge as
to how the papers referred to were trans
ported to the fourth auditors Office. The
witness began an explanation as to the
course pursued, but was stopped by Mr..
Chandler, who said that routine clerks were
not competent to testify as to ho " the bus.
iness was done. The witness was permitted
to testify as to the manner of filing the
vouchers, and said they were 6led In nu.
mericnl order.
TF. V. Walker was next called, and stated
that ray Inspector Washington's term OF
service expired the latter part of 1888,
when Pay Inspector LOCKER took charge.
He drew checks to pay vouchers. lie paid
out the money to Whitaker on receipted
duplicate vouchers, retaining one and send
ing the other to the fourth auditor. Moth
ing in the voucher was in Mhittaker's hama.
writing. The bill was paid because It had
been approved by the chief OF the bureau.
Samuel Wallace identified the checks
produced in court as belonging to the files
Of the treasury aud as having been paid.
George W. Bagg, bookkeeper In the
naval pay office, testified to paying the
cash to Whitaker.
Pay Inspector Washington was then put
on the stand. He testified as to the mau-
ner Of paying bills. He signed checks and
in some instances had signed them in
blank. lie also identified the signatures
10 the checks.
The government then offered the vouch-
ers and checks, which were objected to by
the defense on the ground that the proof
showed that the claims were not presented
to Pay Inspector Washington at ALL as
claimed In the indictment, but that they
bad been presented to the clerk Bagg, and
paid without authority, and the indictment
should be quashed. Argument on the ques-
tion consumed the balance Of the day, aud
the court adjourned to 10 o'clock this morn
ing, when the case will be proceeded with.

BEAMS AUD NOTES.

The New York Times is concerned, ac-
cording to dispatch of this morning,
about the Pacific coast method of choosing
representatives of its interests. Like
other Eastern idealists, the Times follows
in the worn rut in criticising our methods
in politics. Probably they are not as pure
as angels robes at all times-human ma
ture out here is not differe=.. from human
nature on the Atlantic slope. No one
apologies here more than there for the
evil ways of mankind, but the Times and
all the coterie of pessimists which joins in
the chorus about the rowdy West,n will
find there are beams at home as well as
notes abroad, for removal. The undeni-
able records of political scandal in the En-
pire State and from the Hudson to the
Ohio, will disclose to the Times ample
fields for the exercise, near at home,
of all its best missionary efforts.
Our contemporary declares itself convicted
of the belief that only by the corrupt use
of money can high station be attained
upon the Pacific coast, but while we do not
care enough about it to confront the critic
with the proofs of the falsity of its sweep
ing assertion, we cannot refrain from point
ing to a very recent instance, that of Hon.
William n. Stewart, who within but a few
days has been selected to be United States
Senator from Nevada; vet he is poor
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-01-11

A SAN JOSE contemporary states that 1t is
expected the great lenses of the Lick tele-
scope, when put in place in July next
will reveal plant life upon the planet
Mars, and asks eff so, why not animal
life% Because it will not reveal plant
life. There is great deal of misconcep-
ton about the power of great telescopes.
The Lick instrument, great as it is, and
larger and finer than any other in the
world, is not expected to accomplish any
such results as our contemporary anticl-
pates. All such speculations are visionary,
and have the authority of no student of
astronomy. Wider fields will be explored,
greater telescope area be available to the
eye at one time, greater light gathered
within the compass of the monster object
i've lens, and consequently astronomical re-
search be greatly aided, broadened and
quickened But that-any such revelations
as are limited at are to be made is absurd
The new instrument will facilitate astro-
nomical photography, and give to the
searching of the spectroscope new interest,
and result through it in new developments
unquestionably; but let no one be deceived
by the fiction that we are to look in upon the
domestic arrangements of any possible in
habitants of the nearer worlds swinging in
unmeasured space.

little, but nothing more.

cut the grass only. Fruit is not far enough
advanced to be damaged. The cold weather
will retard its growth and prevent damage
from later frosts.
HoLLIsTER, January 10th.-Lasr night
was the coolest OF the season, the mercury
registering thirty degrees above zero. No
damage was done, as little grain has been
sown, and fruit is not sufficiently advanced.
The weather promises fair, and farmers are
fearful Of dry year

age is reported TO orange and other citrus
trees. Young tomato and potato vines on

little.
FOLSOM, January 10th.-The frost last

MILITIAMEN DISAPPOINTED.

England, Germany and Spain refuse to
permit company of American militia
men to exhibit themselves in their spic-
span new uniforms and FURNISHED arms
within the confines Of those Kingdoms.
English, German or Spanish citizen-sol-
diery would probably encounter no such
difficulty in this country Another dis
tinction is thus clearly marked between
a monarchy and a republic. Here the DIFF
ference between the private and the officer
is not social one; it begins and ends at
the uniform. But in England such equal
ity might lead up to social complications
that would develop into the offensive.
This is one of the reasons telegraphed for
refusing the Gate City Guard the privilege
of marching through the "right tight lit
tie island" Besides it is in violation of
the traditional policy of monarchies to
permit any foreign armed bodies to tray
erse their soil. We can very well under
stand this and the reason for it, and the
Gate City Guard will better understand it
when they do visit Europe, leaving their
muskets behind them. By very little in
quiry they might have spared themselves
the humiliation Of the snub they have re-
ceiyed. 1t is in rather bad taste for them
to go to England as uniformed body of
militia even unarmed. Their appearance
in uniform viii be looked upon there as
an eccentricity only, and not secure them
any greater consideration. As it is evil
dent the nations to which they applied are
averse to the democratic demonstra-
ton the appearance of American citizen
soldiery would make in Europe, good taste
would dictate that they respect the preju-
dice and go, if go they must, in their
capacity as civilians.
